Join us tonight for our last Lenten Wednesday offering
Ignatian Imaginative Prayer:

  1. Select a Scripture. Pick a passage from one of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.
  2. Read. Read the passage several times slowly, so that you almost know the story well enough to share with another person.
  3. Imagine the scene. Close your eyes, and imagine the scene. Who is there? What are they doing? Where are they? What do you notice about the environment? What smells are there? What sounds? Let the Holy Spirit guide this unfolding in your mind.
  4. Put yourself in the scene. As the scene begins to take shape in your mind, put yourself in the scene. Notice where you are.
  5. Notice what happens. Let the story unfold in your mind. Stay with it until you feel nudged to move to reflection.
  6. Respond and rest. Share with God what you noticed and experienced. Then rest in God, and let God speak to you.
  7. Reflect. Reflect on what you experienced in prayer. What did you learn about Jesus? About another character in the Scripture? About yourself?

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
with MOTHER CATHERINE
Mother Catherine is now offering Spiritual Direction at St. John’s. Spiritual direction, also known as spiritual companionship, is an interpersonal relationship formed to support individuals as they attempt to deepen their relationship with the divine, seek spiritual discernment around various life events or transitions, or to learn and grow in their personal spirituality.

You will meet regularly with Mother Catherine, typically once per month; there is no charge for the sessions and generally the length is one hour and can be arranged to fit your schedule. All sessions are completely confidential. Contact the office if you are interested in setting up an appointment: 516-671-3226

We are working on summer programs together - we miss our kids!
Stay tuned- more coming!
 
Losing the relationship you once had with a loved one is difficult and complicated. Join the Rev. Jean Denton, retired cleric and healthcare administrator, as she leads A Peculiar Kind of Grief, the second conversation in With Hearts and Hands, our series supporting dementia caregivers.
Jean will explore the concepts of chronic sorrow, anticipatory grief, ambiguous loss, and she’ll share ways to “be” with grief.
 
Who should attend?
Dementia caregivers and those who minister to them.
